I can see some folks being surprised at the name b/c they had some articles leak that they were going to pay big and go for a big name and I'm not sure he fits that.

However, that being said, the man can coach. I'd have been pleased if we hired him when we hired KA and I'd have been pleased if we hired him this time around. He's not super flashy but he's a really good steady coach and program builder. Doesn't seem to have much if any negative baggage.
